250 is probably an average-size prison in Norway?

Here in Finland, the largest prison in the country can accomodate 299 inmates. I imagine Norway's situation is roughly similar.

It seems to be one of the biggest prison in the country, Bergen can house 258 inmates but it's not clear that there are bigger prisons, trawling through the official listing[0] and looking for "insette" (inducted/inmates) and "plasser" (places/seats) most prisons units are in the high 60s, with very few approaching 200.
